I've checked with mobiles and computers with different resolutions and operating systems and it seems to be working fine with all of them.

Try to overclock it. Some people overclocked it from 58 GH/s to over 63 Gh/s. That's an increase of 8.62%.

Use a different pool. Some pool offer low pool-fees, some other support merged mining.
Its running pretty much at rated speed (59.x GHs) and loud enough as is. I actually turned the thing off overnight for that reason (PC is in the room next to bed room), hmm, ~5$ or a good nights sleep ... i think i´ll take the later. Probably need to move the PC to a different room to solve that problem.

As for the pool, i pay 3% there, is that good, as in low? Decent? High?

3% is better than some pools. Although there are lower. But, it depends on the amount of people contributing to the pools. Some big pools with a lot of users take up to 10% off, but that can be more beneficial sometimes as you have more income because of the amount of people.

 I do wonder how much my account would worth?

 Is there anyone who can actually pay me something for my account?

I got offered 1BTC for my account way back (few months ago). Obviously I didn't sell, I was just wondering how much accounts are worth. I believe the user who offered me this has now become inactive/banned. I believe they also was using others account for scamming purposes.

He was offering all hero members 1BTC, which back then I was only recently the system changed. I believe he was offering all accounts above newbie for something like 0.2. But, I can't remember. I wouldn't advise you to sell your account.

Hopefully, we'll have a response. I bought and sold something last night and it all went smooth. Although, I'm a bit wary now until this has been sorted.
7306  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitmit not working on: October 08, 2013, 09:27:52 AM
Strange. I'm assuming only some people are affected. I sold and bought something last night with no problems, unless it was just before it started to have problems. Sorry, op. You were right.

I have recently bought & sold with escrow enabled and have had no problems, smooth as a nut.

It raises all kinds of flags, a quick search will tell you that. Use at your own risk.

Mining by itself doesn't add anything and if we had the option to reduce the power consumption to nearly zero then that's obviously a good thing. It's like choosing to use a car which does 0 miles to the gallon over 50. One is clearly better for everyone.




I'm sorry, mining doesn't do anything? Please back this up with information.


Do you own Bitcoin yourself? Mining Confirms prior transactions by adding to the block chain. But, just so you know mining is absolutely vital to Bitcoin, please read: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Mining

I've only had one problem with Bitmit and it was resolved the next day. I'm sure it's just on your end and should be resolved shortly.

No, the proof of work system currently is the only absolute decentralized method that has proofed itself to work for a network like Bitcoin to find conses.

Unless we find another system for this purpose, mining is necessary.

The purpose of mining is not the creation of bitcoins, neither to make the miners money

It's become that. People who have recently come into the game, simply want to make money. Therefore, their first attempt is to mine. Even, though mining isn't very profitable any more due to the pricing on the rigs.



No, people think that, but that changes nothing at the underling purpose and at the fact that Bitcoin can't work without mining.

That People fail to understand something and believe otherwise doesn't change it.


It's true that Bitcoin can't work without mining. I haven't said anything different. But, it seems that every new comer has become obsessed with mining just for the money and haven't researched it. There's actually information for newbies on mining and why it benefits the community on this forum.

Pretty nice site. Although, but limited job opening at the moment.

Exactly. "The house always wins" now please don't tell me you have exploited the site which has been running for a very long time. Why would you even sell this? The site owner would change it's system if this was the case.


Your saying you could put a bet for 100BTC and win 600BTC with a chance to lose it 1/3000 bets? Oh please.

It could. But, it wont. People want to mine the rest of Bitcoin, when that has been done that's when Bitcoin will turn into a non mining currency.

But that will take over 100 years.

However, driving cars is bad for the environment, although people still drive cars and a average family has around 2 to 3 cars. Not mentioning other appliances in the house.

Yeah but I don't agree with petrol / diesel cars either. We should be using electric or hydrogen by now.


It might take 100 years, but that isn't going to stop anyone. If Bitcoin continues to rise then people will be encourage and more people will join. Also, as new mining equipment is introduced that figure may just decrease by a lot.

Electric cars are also bad. They still require batteries to run. The best way of transport and better for your health & the environment is to use your own legs. People seem to criticise Bitcoin because "how bad it is for the environment" however, we use cars, computers and other things which harm the environment. Considering the average person these days spends a lot of their time on a computer then what's the difference. As new mining equipment is introduced hopefully it will become better for the environment to stop people blaming Bitcoin. I heard recently that someone blamed Bitcoin for global warming. Even though, the earth hasn't been warming it's actually been cooling and the sun as been at a low, lowest it's been for a good while.

I’m still not comfortable with this kind of price increase. Don’t you think this will reverse before it reaches 100 million?

Anyway, it’s an impressing number. I remember when that wasn’t even a million …

It's showing its success considering it wasn't even a million. Although, if it holds is a different story.
